Radia Show 995: Standard sono magique by Désorceler la Finance (Radio Panik)

Standard sono magique by Désorceler la Finance is a sound ritual recorded at Recyclart (BXL) during the release party for the documentary podcast Glossary of Finance and sorcery (Glossaire de la finance et de la sorcellerie), a five chapter radio creation available on radiola.be.

Désorceler la Finance (Unbewitch Finance) is a free creative lab composed of activists, artists, designers, and thinkers engaged in multiple trans-media efforts to reclaim power over parts of our life in society that has been owned by the economical and the financial system. Through rituals, speculative writings, documentary podcasts and sound design, conferences, and exhibitions, the lab develops a pragmatical magic meant to unbewitch ourselves from the curse of TINA*.
*There Is No Alternative

Désorceler la Finance est un laboratoire sauvage composé d’artistes, d’activistes, de chercheuse.eur.s déterminé.e.s à nous désenvoûter de la finance, à nous libérer de la paralysie qui nous saisit lorsqu’il faut penser son rôle dans la société, sur le logement, la santé, la production agricole ou l’écologie. Entre rituels de désenvoûtement de la finance, cartomancie pour ré-ouvrir les horizons, exposition de curiosités économiques, marches et infiltrations, émissions radio et autres conférences pirates, le laboratoire avance au rythme de créations visuelles et sonores, de workshops, de performances et d’écritures expérimentales.

Each week one member of the Radia Network produces a show for all the others. The Radia Network emerged from a series of meetings, clandestine events, late-night club discussions, and a lot of email exchanges between cultural radio producers across Europe. The topics vary and the reasons for forming a network are many, but Radia has become a concrete manifestation of the desire to use radio as an art form. The approaches differ, as do the local contexts; from commissioned radio art works to struggles for frequencies to copyright concerns, all the radios share the goal of an audio space where something different can happen. That different is also a form in the making – radio sounds different in each city, on each frequency. Taking radio as an art form, claiming that space for creative production in the mediascape and cracking apart the notion of radio is what Radia does.

It is producing radio stuff that is hard to describe. Some of it can be labeled radio art, or experimental radio, or creative radio. Sometimes it talks, sometimes it doesn’t. It can be noisy, or a kind of soundscape, or a documentary, a document, a talk, a performance. Each and every week, one of the partners will provide the network program, commissioned and produced especially for this purpose: being broadcast by all the partners and made available online.

Some things have to be said about all those partners. They are radio stations, of the independent, non-commercial, community, cultural species. They all speak different languages, and this should create interesting problems. Although initially they were all European radio stations this has changed over time and Radia has become not only larger but also more diverse: 17 partners in nine countries and growing all the time.
